Hey Fred! First time here, just wanted to say really quickly before I read on... my campus bookstore snack run is in the mornings, between 10-11 when I can't take the grumbling belly anymore! So, I feel you! :-D
I'll be catching up on your other posts.
Glad to find your blog! I run around with a few homosexual men so I am definitely going to buy like 10 copies of your book for them! I find it so amazing what you are doing with your writing. We need more writers like you! You go boy! Hey I love Soul Food 2, and my laptop, cellie, and books. We have a few things in common! Look forward to reading your blog.
Does that come with a neck roll and a finger snap Elsie? I would think that especially since you "run around with a few homosexual men" that you would know that your comment is slightly offensive and insulting. I plan on getting Fred's book, not just for my gay friends, but also because I'd like to read it. Sorry, Fred, but I was a little taken aback by her comment. Hope I didn't offend with mine.
Hey y'all. It's all love here and on this site :-)
No offense taken to any of the comments.
Now, if the "n" or "f" word had come up... that'd be a different story.
But it's nice to see some new readers and folks visiting. You have to meet the boys who visit too (some are linked on the left). Everyone's cool who visits here!

Joanne: No girl, I didn't mean to be offensive. I am going to read his book. I love all kinds of literature. I should've put that in my comment. I meant that it was something I could relate to by having my "homosexual friends" and that I'd buy several copies. Sorry if I offended you.
Fred: Glad no offense was taken. You're a talented author. I was reading up on your site. I totallly support you!
